Light from the front on the pale face, which is framed by bushy straw-blond hair. Big dark blue eyes. The white dress with red and blue sash is closed at the neck with a blue ribbon. Gray and brown tones in the cat with yellow eyes. In the dark brown background on the left gray brightness. Signed right below: F. Lenbach 1899.
